jQuery ajax PUT call results in error when the server response is in JSON and empty string

1. The version(s) of jQuery affected: 1.9.0

The previous version of jQuery works as can bee seen in the provided test case.

2. The browser: chrome Version 24.0.1312.56, but browser doesn't matter

3. The operating system: MacOS, does not need to do anything

4. A description of what you expect to happen:

The following ajax call results in error, in previous version of jQuery, they don't result in error. It should not result in error because the HTTP response is 200.

[start reproduce code]

$.ajax({
    type: "PUT",
    url: 'https://taru.zeeses.com:8443/map/jquerybug.jsp',
    error: function() {
        alert('ERROR you should not see this, but you see this in 1.9.0');
    },
    success: function() {
        alert('SUCCESS this does not work in 1.9.0, but you see it works in 1.8.3 and bellow');
    }
});

[end reproduce code]

[begin jquerybug.jsp]

<%
response.setContentType("text/json");
%>

[end jquerybug.jsp]
